In exactly three months time I’ll be on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, on my way to Denver, Colorado. Back in January I entered a competition to win a space at Leap Retreat, an intimate workshop for just ten women, hosted by Sarah Cornish of My Four Hens Photography, who’s incredible family photography…
Last week was weird. There’s no other way to describe it. I’ve been feeling quite unsettled as a result of all the things that happened – probably because it was all within a relatively short space of time. And also – I’m realising as I’m writing this – because all of it was completely beyond my…
How is it the end of May already?! I swear I was only writing last month’s Little Loves post a week or so ago. Summer feels like it’s decided to arrive, it’s half term next week and we’ve had a busy month. Here are all the little things I’ve been loving lately throughout May… Read…
A couple of weeks ago I turned thirty-four. Thirty-four! The words sound alien because in my head I feel about sixteen. And yet here I am, more than double the age I feel, somewhat bemused as to where the time has gone and how I’ve ended up here. All in all it was a pretty…
A few weeks ago on a lovely, sunny Saturday, the girls and I headed up to Trentham Gardens for the afternoon. Trentham is somewhere we go several times a year – it’s one of our favourite places to visit as there are loads of things there for the girls to enjoy whatever the season – the lakeside walk and…
On my birthday last year I posted a list of 40 things I want to do, achieve and experience before I turn 40 years old in 2023. I’d originally started the list when I turned thirty but I hadn’t launched my blog at that point so it existed solely in the relative privacy of one of my numerous notebooks…
Gosh this month seems to have zoomed by… again! I feel like I say it in pretty much every post I write (and to be fair I probably do), but I just don’t know where this year is disappearing to. April was a month of sunshine, family time and plenty of treats – it’s been…
How are we at the end of March already?! The Easter holidays are on the horizon, the evenings are getting lighter and the sunshine is putting in an appearance a little more often now, teasing us with the promise of warmer weather. That must mean it’s time for me to do a round up of all the…
Last week, on 22nd March 2017, my blog turned one year old! I can’t believe I launched Picture Taker Memory Maker a whole year ago – the time seems to have flown by so quickly and simultaneously it feels like it’s been a part of my life forever. I honestly can’t imagine venturing out without…
When I first found out that I was expecting Ella, one April morning almost eleven years ago now, I knew that I would want to remember everything. I knew that if I didn’t record it, all the details would eventually fade over time. I also knew that I would be devastated if that happened. And so I…
